Citizen-Based Stream Monitoring
Collect chemical, physical, and/or biological water quality data to assess the current overall stream health. The data can inform management decisions and may be used to identify impaired waters for biennial lists.

TMDL Monitoring
Cedar Creek is a 28-mile, warm water stream that runs through Washington and Ozaukee Counties of Southeastern Wisconsin and flows into the Milwaukee River at river mile 28. Cedar Creek is part of the Great Lakes Basin, and ultimately the fate and transport of PCBs to the Milwaukee River and the Milwaukee River Area of Concern should be considered when exploring implementation actions for this TMDL. Despite the remediation efforts of Ruck Pond, human and ecological risks remain in effect downstream of the Ruck Dam in Cedar Creek to the Milwaukee River.
TMDL (USEPA) Approved
The Cedar Creek and Milwaukee River watershed was listed on the 2006 Section 303(d)
list due to fish consumption advisories due to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs).
Nine Key Element Plan
Cedar Creek PWS Plan - Nine Key Element Plan - This priority watershed plan assesses nonpoint pollution sources in the Cedar Creek Watershed and sets forth a strategy for reducing their effects on surface waters.
Monitor Water Quality or Sediment
New data confirms phosphous listing. Temperature exceedance based on June 2018 exceedance rate - not sufficient for listing because there were fewer days recorded in the month than all other months. All other months meet criteria.

Sediment Remediation Phase 5 - Implementation
A total of 11,219.5 metric tons of sediment were removed from Ruck Pond during this dry excavation.
Sediment Remediation Phase 1 - Screening
Evidence in fish tissue that Cedar Creek has PCB contamination.
